Running with JCT, Part Deux

Depends on how the previous driver drove. I got a 2017 in may 2016, and I put 202K miles on it.

And yes, the warranty is very good. I got it printed up at a dealership when I got into my 2017. Its legit.

 

Warranty is 5 years/ 700k, not 7 years and that's for Cascadia. KW and Petes are different. The Cascadia is bumper to bumper coverage.

Don't get your hopes up in getting a brand new truck straight out of orientation. Better off going now that way you can upgrade when the ones come in.

Read the entire forum. Yes, it's extremely long, but every single question you have will be answered and questions you didn't think of too.

 

And to add something, for you or anyone else that's considering coming to JCT, this cannot be stressed enough... complete the online orientation videos as soon as possible. Literally, as soon as possible. When you get your orientation information, it will contain a link to online videos that you must complete. Truck selection, is based solely on who finishes those videos first. Meaning if you show up to orientation with those videos already completed, you will pick a truck before the other poor saps that are sitting in orientation watching the videos there. Also, should more than one person show up to orientation with the videos already complete, they go back to the actual time in which those videos were completed. So if you complete your videos on a Wednesday, and another guy has completed his on a Thursday, you will pick before him. If you get to pick first, you get to select from whatever trucks they have available. If you pick last, then you get whatever is left, which might not be much. So, moral of the story? Complete the videos as soon as humanly possible.

 

Thanks for the info...any and all responses are welcome. I have hauled some loads through the brokerage side of jct before....sygma clackamas or. I am currently driving for a small outfit and am partially satisfied however we are on paper logs and with the eld mandate coming fast I am almost positive it will affect my pay due to the majority of our loads we currently haul. Anyway like I said thanks for the replies.

 

Because you guys can appreciate it. Check in, what's you phone, we'll call you when you can get on a door. 1 hour, 15 minutes and counting ... tick, tick, tick. .... Tyson.

 

Sounds bout right. I live loaded at Tyson in Rogers, AR not to long ago. 24hrs later, I was loaded.

 

I made $255 in detention last week. I'm now at $45 and counting ... still no door.

 

So I'm at the terminal, have to get a new tire to balance out the new replaced tire.

So I asked, since I still have a speed related vibration if the other three tires could have their radial and lateral run out checked and replace that one if it's out of round.

And they said they're not sure they be able to do that because they don't balance super singles....

You don't even have to take the tire off the truck to measure run out you just Jack it up put the gauge against the tire and spin it slowly...

I'm guessing the easiest Tire to replace is going to be the one that gets replaced and I'll still be shaking 200,000 miles later.

Also when I got my tire replaced by road service they discovered that these centramatics were installed incorrectly on that drive Tire. Faith in the terminal is fading fast...

 

What you don't like being lied to every time you go in there? Weird.
